Welcome to our Pyrford practice, located in Marshall Parade on Coldharbour Road, close to the Village Hall and Primary School. Local clients often walk to the practice, there’s ample parking in the shopping parade, and bus stops are just a short walk away.

Our Pyrford practice is one of our more recent locations, on the site of the old Lloyds Pharmacy. It has undergone an extensive conversion and refurbishment, and now includes an operating theatre, consulting room, the latest, up-to-date diagnostic equipment and comfortable kennels.

Continuous investment is made to better support our highly experienced team, to enable us to offer world-class general, primary, consultation, diagnostic, surgical and advanced care services and the very best of care for you and your pets.

For more complex cases, surgeries, advanced care and 24hr emergency care, we may treat your pet in our near-by hospital in Surbiton. Complimentary transport is available, if needed.

Meet The Team

Carmen Dougherty MRCVS

Veterinary Surgeon
When I was about 5 years old, I was asking my parents a lot of medical questions, my mother offered me a book… it was about dogs. This is when I discovered veterinary medicine and I’ve realised that I wanted to be a veterinarian. 
I have graduated in 2006 and went on to study for 2 further years, specialising in parasitic diseases in small animals. 
Veterinary medicine is a great profession with an enormous amount of satisfaction and here at Voo Vets we pride ourselves on providing care to your pets and supporting our clients. I am also supporting and training our staff like vet graduates and student vet nurses. 
Outside of work, I love traveling abroad with my husband and son, cooking, baking, nature walks oh and buying shoes.

David Tomkins BVetMed MRCVS

Veterinary Surgeon

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2020, joining Voo Vets as a six-month graduate; I am now on the pathway to becoming a senior vet.

As I am originally from Surrey and decided to stay close to home, I travel frequently and easily between the three Surrey practices: Ripley, Cobham and Pyrford, to carry out procedures and to provide support to the team.

In my free time I study Italian, which is partially funded by my CPD allowance. I have always loved and cared for animals, and now enjoy the company of two Horsefield tortoises, and a very adorable family Labrador, called Benji.

Hayley Dent Registered Veterinary Nurse

Senior Veterinary Nurse and Nursing training Manager
I joined Voo in 2012, where I enrolled into the apprenticeship scheme to become a veterinary nurse. Once qualified, I was able to work my way up within the company due to their amazing development pathways available. 
Our support network is an integral part of Voo and as a line manager, I strive to support the team with frequent discussions and career progression opportunities. They are not just my colleagues, but my work family and are a huge part in the enjoyment of my job over the many years. 
 
Outside of work, I am the owner of two dogs (Lola and Abu) and 3 cats (O’Malley, Binx and Potato). I have always loved being around animals and am grateful for the opportunities voo has provided me with. 

Jessica Gontar

Student Veterinary Nurse
I joined Voo back in 2019. In this time, I have enrolled into their veterinary nurse apprenticeship which has slowed me to progress in my practical skills. Voo has given me exposure to different area within veterinary medicine, routine and specialist procedures, CT and ultrasound imaging and hydrotherapy/physiotherapy. 
 
As a student I am allocated time within my work to focus on my studies and have continued support from my clinical coach. 
 
Outside of work I have 2 cats (Oscar and Louie) who are both very naughty and have paid a visit themselves to Voo! 

Jasmyn Weeks

Animal Nursing Assistant
When Voo offered me an apprenticeship in veterinary nursing, I jumped at the opportunity.  I have learnt so much since I started in September 2022.  
My colleagues are really helpful and involve me in a wide variety of work and it has been a pleasure to be working so closely with such lovely and knowledgable people that put in so much time and care into each individual patient.
What I like is being able to work across different locations and no day is the same.  I feel I have learnt a lot in a short time and am happy that I chose an apprenticeship over university as would never have gained so much experience in such a short time. I have a particular interest in diagnostic imaging and am developing my knowledge in that area.  
 
I have always had a wide array of pets including rats, pygmy hedgehogs, dogs, horses and a bearded dragon. Outside, of work I spend a lot of time with my 3 horses and enjoy producing and competing.  Working with animals was always something I knew I would do but after gaining valuable work experience in the vets I knew that vet nursing was the field for me.

Jane Winter

Customer Service and Site Manager
I joined Voo in June 2022 as a customer service manager at our Cobham Branch.  The favourite part of my role is the daily interaction with our customers, assisting them with questions, care for their pets, insurances, and any concerns that they may have.  The team and company support is fantastic and with training, I am currently on a pathway for a role as a site manager.
 
Outside of work I enjoy decorating and upcycling vintage furniture

Chelsey Bennett

Customer Care Advisor
I have been working for Voo, as a receptionist, since October 2022. I had previously worked in customer service for 3 years and I knew I wanted to stay within that industry, but I have always had a huge passion for animals, so now I have the best of both worlds.
I love working with a team of people that always strive to give the best possible care to all of our patients and provide a great support network for our clients. I am based in Surrey, mostly Ripley and Pyrford, and it is so nice having built up such a great relationship with our clients already! 
At home, I have 5 pets. Our cat, Fifi, had a litter of kittens in 2020 and we couldn't bare to rehome them all, so we decided to keep two and we named them Lilo and Mo. We have also, just recently, welcomed 2 rabbits into our family; Sooty and Sweep.

Abi Reigate

Customer Care Advisor
I’m one of the customer care adviser for surrey clinics. What I like most about my job role, is meeting the clients and their adorable pets. Building up relationships and telling them all what Voo has to offer as an independent practice. 
I enjoy seeing the animals through out their recovery and the amazing work Voo provides for them. 
Outside of work I have two Guinea pigs (poppy and Pippa) who I adore.
